2022 Porsche Macan vs. 2022 Nissan Murano

The Porsche Macan and the Nissan Murano are two of the most popular premium compact SUVs on the market. Both offer a luxury feel and fun driving experience, but what makes them stand out from each other? Let's take a look at how these two stack up when it comes to style, performance, features and pricing.

Design & Style

• Exterior Design

The 2022 Porsche Macan and the 2022 Nissan Murano both come in one of two trims, but there are notable differences in their design. The 2022 Porsche Macan is offered as a base model, which comes with LED headlights, LED tail lights and 18-inch wheels with performance tires. The middle trim level comes equipped with 19-inch wheels and 20-inch polished aluminum wheels. The top trim level comes equipped with 20-inch matte black finish alloy wheels for enhanced performance on the road.

The 2022 Nissan Murano is also available in three different trims: S (base), SV and SL (top). All models include LED daytime running lights (DRL) and LED taillights; however, the base model does not have fog lights while all other models do have fog lamps that come standard on SV or SL trims only.

• Interior Design

The interior design of the 2022 Macan is a good example of Porsche's philosophy, which is to keep it simple. The dashboard is simple and clean, with only few buttons offered for control. The steering wheel has a flat bottom, which makes it easier for drivers to find their grip on the wheel when driving over rough terrains or in inclement weather conditions (such as rain). The seats are high quality leather that provides maximum comfort for both driver and passenger.

The interior design of the 2022 Nissan Murano is also very similar to its exterior design. It has been designed with lots of curves and sharp edges that give it an elegant look while maintaining an airy feeling inside the cabin despite its size being relatively small compared to other SUVs in its class (like 2022 Macan). The materials used are mostly made from genuine leather or wood veneer, giving it a premium feel.

Technology & Safety

The 2022 Porsche Macan comes with a wealth of driver-assistance features, including adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist, forward emergency braking and rear automatic braking. You can also get adaptive headlights that automatically adjust to the road ahead in low light conditions. The 2022 Nissan Murano has slightly more limited driver-assist technology, but it still includes adaptive cruise control and lane-keeping assist as standard equipment.

Both SUVs offer blind-spot monitoring systems that use cameras to alert you if there's someone in your blind spots when changing lanes. Both also come with rear cross traffic alerts for added safety when backing out of parking spaces or driveways on busy streets. As for safety ratings from NHTSA (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration), both SUVs received five stars overall with four stars for front crash prevention tests-again proving they're two great choices when it comes to safety features.

Performance

The 2022 Porsche Macan comes with a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine that gives you 262 horsepower and 273 pound-feet of torque. Meanwhile, the 2022 Nissan Murano uses a 3.5-liter V6 engine with 261 horsepower and 251 pound-feet of torque.

In terms of speed and acceleration, it looks like the 2022 Porsche Macan will win this category by a landslide: It can reach 60 mph in 5 seconds flat while the Murano takes 6 seconds to do so. The Porsche also gets better fuel economy than its rival: 24 mpg city/30 highway vs 22 city/28 highway.

The Bottom Line

So the winner is the 2022 Porsche Macan. It has more power, better handling, and a much better transmission. The only thing that it doesn't have is a great range of colors, but this isn't all that big of a deal if you're buying a car for its performance anyway.
